After temporarily halting production due to a rise in Covid cases in Shenzhen, China, Foxconn, a significant supplier, has largely resumed normal operations, reports Reuters.

On Wednesday, Foxconn announced that it had partially restarted production in Shenzhen by implementing a "closed loop" system with employees residing on the campus.

Nearly half of iPhones are produced in a factory in Henan province, not in Shenzhen, where Foxconn also produces some iPhones, iPads, and Macs, according to a Bank of America note last week. The analysts said at the time that the company could relocate production in the short term if the lockdown was not extensive.

The pause came just days after Apple announced new products, causing concern about product shortages due to the shutdown.

Foxconn did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.
